EPM has been a digital distributor since 2003 noticing at the time the new 'digital' format and realising that this was to be the future of the music business at a very early stage. EPM offers a highly professional service for like-minded labels who release consistent catalogue and are about music business. We give our labels the tools and advise to make the digital distribution and sales of your release a success.

HOW TO SEND TAKEDOWN NOTIFICATIONS If you find your music being given away or sold by a store, filesharing website, blog etc without your consent.

We have taken the time and paid for this information to be given to you for free so please take the time to read the info below carefully before acting as Takedown Notices can be subject to abuse. In order to prevent this the US legislation is strict. Please be careful if you decide to send a Takedown Notice to an US-based ISP.

Please keep in mind that your Takedown Notice includes a statement under perjury that the information provided by you in the notice is accurate and true. This is serious business !

There are more and more ways to play music either by streaming or purchasing to own in various formats. Many more people can now be reached who perhaps prior to the digital format could not buy your music (perhaps due to no record shop nearby, record shops not ordering what was wanted by someone, etc), or access it unless played on the radio. Online marketing can promote releases far and wide into territories, which labels could never afford to spend money breaking into before.

In order to keep your customer base growing it is essential that your music database keeps growing as well. Of course a lot of the mainstream music is generating a lot of revenue but different genres attract a different public. It is common knowledge that genre related music has a strong interest from a specified customer group, creating a solid customer base for sales & promotion.

Promotion of your new releases and catalogue is essential in the every changing digital market. Making people aware when you have a new release out and where they can buy it are of course nothing new but the ways in which we can do that are constantly evolving. Using Myspace, stores players, banners, links from your website to stores that are selling your music, emails to your fan database, etc are all very important ways to market and promote your catalogue.
